we raised $485.60 for charity today

Hi again,we done all job in front of primary school!Regards Silvana

well done we are lucky because my parents live on a very busy road and a lot of people go by and stop to buy flowers.

That is great what you are doing where did you sell the cookies? I belive that giving to those that need it is the greatest gift for my self.

The flowers usually would end up in the bin anyway as shops buy a lot and they use what is left for months (they keep them in a freezer) so after valentines day he has a quet period where he has lots of first grade flowers just seeting in the cooler. So it wors out great for everyone.

The sad thing here in Minneapolis Minnesota is that there are homeless people that rummage through the garbage bins on days like tomorrow to get the flowers then they travel from bar to bar selling them to get their own stuff. Maybe I can see it being done for food etc. But a lot use the cash from these "stolen" flowers for booze which is so wrong in my eyes. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi grampa bob I know what you are saying and its a sad reality

Thanks dear yes I do hope that people are more caring somethimes as a lot of organisations do a lot for people in need and they are doing it with minimum money. I feel great knowing that our help might do some good for someone. eg the money we raised will mean that 1 child is closer to a proper assestment sooner (as it takes years on the waiting list or if you have $1200 they will do it in a week)

I do hope that more people would help each other but I belive that we do and a lot of people still care for those in need.

Thank for the kind words it means a lot. As the organisations we help have helped us at one point in our lifes (I am talking about my family) I feel great helping them or paying them back in some way.

That's a most wonderful testimony. Your family must be lifted up as a fine example of how benevolence still exists in our cold and harsh society today. Through their participation, your children will learn from young the blessed virtues of humility and self-sacrifice, and grow up to be fine citizens and responsible people. ~ Victor

hey my sons name is Viktor :) yes I agree that kids learn from the parents and I hope they grow up to be kind and generous people and they already show great potentials and I am very proud of the 3 of them (my son and my 2 nephews)

Thanks to you as well for the lovely and kind words. I feel blessed to be able to do it and to give something back to those that help people in a large scale. We often forget that every $ makes a difference to someone. Yes we could have gone out yesterday but working together with my family ment a lot more to me. My son kept calling people over (he is 4) to buy flowers (very cute), my 8 year old helped by colecting the money, giving change and puting the flowers in bags, my mother made the bunches, my father helped me when I had to go in the house or had to many people, sister and my husband helped as well so it was a family thing.
